SELECTING THE
FRYER LOCATION
The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation, speed,
and convenience. The location of the open fryer should allow clearances
for servicing and proper operation. Choose a location which will provide
easy loading and unloading without interfering with the nal assembly
of food orders. Operators have found that frying from raw to nish, and
holding the product in warmers provides fast continuous service. Keep
in mind, the best efciency will be obtained by a straight line operation,
i.e. raw in one side and nished out the other side. Order assembly can
be moved away with only a slight loss of efciency.
To avoid re, install the open fryer with minimum clearance from all
combustible materials, 2 inches (5.08 cm) from the side and 4 inches
(10.16 cm) from the back. Minimum clearance from all non-combustible
materials, 0 inches (0.00 cm) from the side and 0 inches (0.00 cm) from the
back. If installed properly, the open fryer is designed for operation on non-
combustible oors only
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.
To prevent severe burns from splashing hot oil, position and install
fryer to prevent tipping or movement. Restraining ties may be used for
stabilization.
2-4.
LEVELING THE
FRYER
For proper operation, the open fryer should be level from side-to-side and
front to back. Using a level placed on the at areas around the vat collar,
on the middle well, and then adjust the casters until the unit is level.
2-5.
VENTILATION OF
FRYER
The fryer should be located with provision for venting into an adequate
exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential to permit efcient
removal of the steam exhaust and frying odors. Special precaution must
be taken in designing an exhaust canopy to avoid interference with the
operation of the fryer. We recommend you consult a local ventilation or
heating company to help in designing an adequate system.
Ventilation must conform to local, state, and national codes.
Consult your local fire department or building authorities.

6March 2014
2-6.
GAS SUPPLY
When installing the gas open fryer, do not attach an extension
to the gas ue exhaust stack. This may impair proper
operation of the burner, causing malfunctions and possible
negative back draft.
The gas open fryer is factory available for either natural or propane gas.
Check the data plate inside the left front door of the cabinet to determine
the proper gas supply requirements. The minimum supply for natural
gas is 7 inches water column (1.7 kPa) (17.0 mbar), and 10 inches water
column (2.49 kPa) (24.9 mbar) for propane.
Do not attempt to use any gas other than that specied on the
data plate. Incorrect gas supply could cause a re or explosion
resulting in severe injuries and/or property damage.
Please refer below for the recommended hookup of the fryer to main gas
line supply.
To avoid possible serious personal injury:
• Installation must conform with local, state,
and national
codes, the American National Standard
Z223.1/NFPA 54 -(the latest edition) National
Fuel Gas Code, and the local municipal
building codes. In Canada, the Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code is CSA
B149.1 & Installation Codes - Gas Burning
Appliances and local codes. In Australia, in
accordance with Australian Gas Authority
rules AS5601.1/2-2010.
• The fryer and its manual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG
(3.45 kPa) (34.5 mbar).
• The fryer must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa) (34.5mbar).
• A standard one inch (2.54 cm), black steel
pipe and
malleable ttings should be used for gas
service connections for 3 & 4 well open
fryers, and 3/4 inch (1.91 cm) for 2 wells.
• Do not use cast iron ttings.
• Although one inch (2.54 cm) size pipe is rec-
ommended for 3 & 4 wells and 3/4 inch (1.91
cm) for 2 wells, piping should be of adequate
size and installed to provide a supply of gas
sufcient to meet the maximum demand
without undue loss of pressure between the
meter and the open fryer. The pressure loss
in the piping system should not exceed 0.3 in.

GAS SUPPLY
(CONT.)
Provisions should be made for moving the open fryer for cleaning and
servicing. This may be accomplished by:
1. Installing a manual gas shutoff valve and a disconnect or union.
2. Installing a heavy-duty design CSA certied connector. In order to
be able to service this appliance, which is provided with casters,
a connector complying with ANSI Z21.69-CAN 6.16 or CAN
1-6.10m88 and a quick-disconnect device, complying with ANSI
Z21.41or CAN 1-6.9m70, must be installed. It must also be installed
with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the
connector as specied in the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
3. See the illustration on the following page for the proper connection
of exible gas line and cable restraint.
The cable restraint limits the distance the open fryer can be pulled from
the wall. For cleaning and servicing the unit, the cable must be unsnapped
from the open fryer and the exible gas line disconnected. This allows better
access to all sides of the open fryer. The gas line and cable restraint must be
reconnected once the cleaning or servicing is complete.

using acceptable building contruction
practices.
DRY WALLCONSTRUCTION
Secure I-bolt to a building stud DO
NOT attach to dry wall only. Also,
locate the I-bolt at teh same height as
the gas service. Preferred installation
is approximately six inches to either
side of service. Cable restraint must
be at least six inches shorter than
flexible gas line.
Utilize elbows when necesary to avoid
sharp kinks or excessive bending. For
ease of movement, install with a
“lazy” loop. gas appliance must be
disconnected prior to maximum
movement. (Minimum movement is
permissible for hose disconnection).

GAS LEAK TEST
Prior to turning the gas supply on, be sure the gas valve knob on the gas
control valve is in the off position.
Upon initial installation, and after moving the unit, the piping and ttings
should be checked for gas leaks. A simple checking method is to turn on
the gas and brush all connections with a soap solution. If bubbles occur, it
indicates escaping gas. In this event, the piping connection must be redone.
To avoid re or explosion, never use a lighted match or open ame to
test for gas leaks. Ignited gas could result in severe personal injury and/
or property damage.
2-8.
GAS PRESSURE
REGULATOR
SETTING
The gas pressure regulator on the gas control valve is factory set as follows:
• Natural: 3.5 inches water column (0.87 kPa) (8.72 mbar).
• Propane 10.0 inches water column (2.49 kPa) (24.9 mbar).
The gas pressure regulator has been set by Henny Penny and is not to be
